RARE! Real time ground level view of Steve Waugh's all-time classic outfield catch against the West Indies at the MCG in January 1989 😲😲

Oh Danny boy!! Danny Morrison nudging 150 kms an hour in a tour game against WA and Tom Moody at the start of the 1989/90 summer. And if I'm not mistaken, they used a red ball for the day session and trialed an orange ball for the night session. Can someone confirm? Weird 🤨
